Sao Paulo, Apr 16 (EFE).- People under 40 now make up the majority of coronavirus patients in intensive care units in Brazil, where an average of 3,000 people are dying per day as a more virulent and lethal second wave of the pandemic sweeps the country.
Figures from a report released last weekend by the Brazilian Association of Intensive Medicine (AMIB) show that younger people made up 52.2 percent of patients in intensive care in March, up 16.5 percent from the September-to-November period and a record total for that age category.
